The reputation of Chen Ziang and his 9th Battalion spread throughout the Qinghe Army. Soldiers from other battalions would avoid them if they saw them, for fear of provoking them.
And the quartermaster has always been a lucrative position, but every time he saw the 9th Battalion go to collect grain and rice, he was respectful and did not dare to make any deductions, for fear of being beaten.
Chen Zi'ang and the others didn't care about the changes in the attitudes of the Qinghe Army's battalions towards them, anyway, they still carried out military training in their own way.
It's just that such a leisurely training day will soon end, because the detective cavalry reported that the Far Eastern Dynasty had sent the fourth prince Long Tian to lead an army of 100,000 to conquer them.
The Qinghe army now has more than 100,000 troops, but its combat effectiveness in field battles is no match for the army of the Far East Dynasty.
Therefore, the headquarters of the Qinghe Army decided that it would quickly capture several strong cities, relying on the strong cities as bases, defending the cities, and waiting for work at ease.
When Chen Ziang was guiding the training of the soldiers under his command one day, the orderly sent him to the headquarters to receive the military order.
"Zi Ang, now I order your battalion to be the vanguard, go into the surrounding area of ??Guiyifu to investigate the enemy's situation, and prepare for our army to attack the city."
Deputy Marshal Chen Ru appointed Chen Zi'ang's 9th Battalion as the vanguard to attack Guiyi Mansion, and asked him to lead the troops first.
The tasks of the vanguard are generally to open roads when encountering mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and at the same time investigate the enemy's situation and provide intelligence for the army.
"The last general takes orders!"
Chen Ziang didn't expect that he would receive such a task, and he agreed without thinking about it.
There is no other reason, because their 9th Battalion has been training so hard for so many days, and they are holding back a fire and have nowhere to vent it.
Moreover, the training of the soldiers is decent, but the actual combat ability needs to be tested. The vanguard is a very good task.
"Zi Ang, don't underestimate the enemy. The guards of Guiyi Mansion are not ordinary people. The 5th Battalion encountered them a few days ago, and the 5th Battalion lost more than half of them."
Seeing Chen Ziang's face full of indifference, Deputy Marshal Chen Ru also kindly reminded Chen Ziang.
Although Chen Ziang is more capable of causing trouble, he is a rare fighter, and he is considered one of his people. He does not want Chen Ziang to make any mistakes.
"Don't worry, deputy commander, I, Chen Ziang, will not let you down!" Chen Ziang showed sharp confidence on his face.
After Chen Ziang received the military order, he quickly returned to the 9th Battalion's station.
"Woo¡ª¡ª"
Amidst the sound of the low horn, the officers and soldiers of the 9th Battalion who were undergoing fighting training quickly assembled, and in just a few minutes, they all assembled in formation.
"Tell everyone a good news! From now on, you don't need to train!"
Chen Ziang walked to the front of the queue and looked at the group of tiger and wolf soldiers he had personally trained.
Every soldier who was caught by Chen Ziang's eyes tried hard to stand upright, his resolute face was full of coldness.
After hearing Chen Ziang's words, the entire team fell silent, showing good military discipline.
"I also want to tell you a bad news, that is, we are going to go to war, tell me loudly, are you afraid?!"
"Don't be afraid!"
What answered Chen Ziang was a neat and loud roar, the confident roar of a group of arrogant soldiers.
"good!"
"Leave tomorrow morning, go back and prepare now! Disband!"
Chen Ziang didn't talk too much nonsense, and immediately announced the disbandment, because if he said too much, he would leak military information.
When Chen Ziang ordered the soldiers to prepare, he called five thousand generals to his military account alone, and assigned specific tasks.
"Wang Hu!"
"The end is here!"
"You and Yang Zhong will stay and be in charge of the third, fourth and fifth thousand teams, and follow the big troops."
These three thousand-man teams are all the families of the soldiers, and they are all old and weak, women and children, so Chen Ziang didn't plan to take them. Wang Hu and Yang Zhong, two thousand-man generals, were in charge and acted together with the main force of the Qinghe army.
"Li Lang, Lin Yu, Zhang Bao."
"The end is here!"
"You follow me on the expedition, and I will order you to go down later. Each of you will carry five days of dry food."
"No!"
"Master Battalion General, who are we going to fight this time?"
After Chen Ziang finished assigning the task, Li Lang, who was eager to try, couldn't help asking.
Chen Ziang replied: "The deputy commander orderedLet us be the vanguard to attack Guiyi Mansion. "
"Hey, it turned out that it was Guiyi Mansion, and my hands were already itchy." Qian Renjiang Zhang Bao's eyes were full of bloodthirsty frenzy.
"Listen to me, I don't care how you make trouble, but once the team is taken out, all actions follow orders, and whoever dares to act without authorization, don't blame me for turning his face and denying people." Chen Ziang reminded.
"Don't worry, Battalion General, brothers know."
"Go, prepare well, this time we have to hit the ground running, otherwise people will think that we will be in a nest."
Chen Ziang and the others made preparations very quickly. After a night's rest, at dawn the next day, he led two thousand soldiers and set off with five days' worth of dry food.
Although they now have 5,000 people in the 9th Battalion, 3,000 of them are old, weak, women and children. This is also the status quo of the entire Qinghe Army.
Because most of these people who join the army are family members, even the commander-in-chief can't help it.
Chen Ziang and the others were given a military order to be the vanguard, responsible for scouting the enemy and launching tentative attacks on the enemy at the same time.
But for Chen Ziang, being a vanguard is a good opportunity to gain credit, and he will not miss it.
Chen Ziang and his two thousand soldiers have all gone through daily hard training, and long-distance raids are no longer a problem.
However, Chen Ziang knew that this was a battle, not training, and he had to conserve his energy, so his marching speed was not fast.
Their 9th Battalion only had ten horses, all of which were assigned to the scouts in the battalion by Chen Ziang, and even he himself marched on foot.
The ten cavalry scouts were divided into three cavalry scout groups, scattered around their marching route, to scout the surrounding situation.
They did not encounter any enemies on the first day. The towns along the way had become ruins, and the fields were barren. Looking around, they felt dilapidated.
The villagers in the surrounding area either joined the rebel army or fled to the city of Guiyi Prefecture, so there were almost no people in the surrounding area.
Chen Ziang and the others did not follow the scheduled route to go straight to the city of Guiyifu the next day, but changed the direction and swaggered towards a place called Wen County under Guiyifu along the way.
This Wen County is only a hundred miles away from Guiyi Mansion. The 15th Battalion of the Qinghe Army once attacked, but failed.
Chen Zi'ang and the others swaggered towards Wen County. On the third day, there were scouts from the Dynasty army around them.
Facing the reconnaissance cavalry of the dynasty army, on the one hand, Chen Ziang ordered their reconnaissance cavalry to drive forward, and on the other hand ordered the soldiers to strengthen their guard and be ready to fight at any time.
On the fourth day, Chen Ziang and the others had already driven to the outskirts of Wen County, and the scout cavalry of the Dynasty Army also disappeared, so they should have gone back to report the situation.
Wen County had been attacked by the Qinghe Army before, and when they saw Chen Ziang and the others arriving, they immediately closed the city gates and prepared to hold on.
